I’m surprised that Critical Critical Thinking isn’t an explicitly named field of study. I’m sure critical scholars do this implicitly (i.e address Critical Thinking as a construct of European enlightenment thinking), but also who wouldn’t want to call themselves a critical critical thinker?

Mauro Ranallo is one of the best Canadian fight announcers of all time and I hated to see him wasted on freakin Jake Paul and a near 60 year old Mike Tyson

Now that the Swifties are in town, it’s time to say that I like Taylor like a supportive dad: only knows like two songs but will sing them from the top of my lungs

Meeting the organizer of Taylgate on a walking tour was great too

You mean I can just post the word Substack here and I don’t have to worry about getting view suppressed?!?

One thing I’m starting to see is if someone is more sad than angry then there is a lot of self blame but if one is more angry than sad then it’s othering.
Explains why I get sad when someone is a dick towards me as opposed to angry.

Hi new followers,

The main thing I love talking about is scene building and attending / help develop 🔥 in person events.

I run an event calendar in my city that consists of various esoteric interests that I have encountered on The Good Internet.

The Other site is obsessed with truth seeking but losing people who want to imagine a more beautiful, plural world. They won’t offer a way through; they just want to gloat and be cynical about institutions, especially academia.

If you can joke your way into fucking up your life, you can joke your way into loving well.

Well if someone aligned with a past enemy fought against a current enemy’s past army, does that still make them worthy of a standing ovation?

Putting finishing touches on my 2000s playlist and I can't stop listening to "Unfaithful" by Rihanna.

Also, "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys was a talent show cheat code.
